    When I bought the Prius, I bought this "apperance package" that is basically like a clear coat for the interior so it doesn't stain.

    As part of the deal, I got this sort of oil to periodically treat any leather/vinyl in the interior, but I was looking at the Prius, and it looks like the interior is actually a sort of plastic, not vinyl. Am I right about this?

    The instructions on the bottle of stuff say not to use the oil on any of the plastics (I don't think it would get absorbed or do much good), and it seems to me that I should just be able to skip that treatment.

    Any suggestions?
